What is an area model in maths? DoodleLearning

OVERVIEW In this 43-day module, students use place value understanding and visual representations to solve multiplication and division problems with multi-digit numbers. As a key area of focus for Grade 4, this module moves slowly but comprehensively to develop students' ability to reason about the methods and models chosen to solve problems with multi-digit factors and dividends.. NOTE: Student sheets should be printed at 100% scale to preserve the intended size of figures for accurate measurements. Adjust copier or printer settings to actual size and set page scaling to none.

Use the model to give the shaded area as both a sum of unit fractions and as a multiplication sentence. 2 rows 3 rows Draw an area model to show the decomposition represented by the number sentence below. Represent the decomposition as a sum of unit fractions and as a multiplication sentence.. Note: This two-step Application Problem offers a problem-solving context for students to review making equivalent fractions with the number line or the area model as taught in Lesson 1.
